Lightroom Course Online
A comprehensive course for photographers of any level.
#myphotoschoolonline
In this course you will discover the best ways to organize your drives for storing photos, and then use the Library Module and Import Dialog to import your photos. After the images are imported, you will discover how to handle and arrange them as part of a productive workflow. We go into great detail on many features including smart collections and smart previews. Then go on to the Develop Module, where we will set up the panels, discuss presets, history, snapshots, and other processing features before we start some detailed editing on photos. We will also look at some advance editing using masking tools before we set up export presets to store your photos for later use.

What They Say
From the onset of the course, the logistics were managed efficiently, reminders and notices were sent out. I found the course to be exceptional. There were aspects of the power of Lightroom that I did not think possible and it showed me that there is a lot more to Lightroom than just knowing how to edit your photos, how the course was presented allowed for discussions, questions, and guidance. The pace of the course was great, and I never felt that the course was being rushed. Rory encouraged “homework” between sessions to practice what we had learned and then took time to explain.
